Exodus 16:12-35

Josephus, ορτυξ, Ethopic, ferferat, and Vulgate, coturnices, quails, with which agree Philo and the Rabbins. The quail is a bird of the gallinaceous kind, somewhat less than a pigeon, but larger than a sparrow. Hasselquist describes the quail of the larger kind as very much resembling the red partridge, but not larger than the turtle dove; found in Judea as well as in the deserts of Arabia Petrζa and Egypt; and affording a most agreeable and delicate dish.

These the learned Abarbinel, a most judicious Jewish interpreter, has thus enumerated: - The natural manna was never found in the desert where this fell where the common manna does fall; - It is only in the spring time, in March and April, whereas this fell throughout all the months in the year; - The ordinary manna does not melt in the sun, as this did (Exod 16:21); - It does not stink and breed worms, as this did, when kept till the morning (Exod 16:20); - It cannot be ground or beaten in a mortar, so as to make cakes, as this was; - The common manna is medicinal and purgative, and cannot be used for food and nutriment, as this was; - This fell in a double proportion on the sixth day, and not on the sabbath, as it certainly would have done had it fallen naturally; - It followed them in all their journeys, where ever they pitched their tents; and - It ceased at the very time of the year when the other falls, namely, in March, when the Israelites were come to Gilgal. Whatever this substance was, it does not appear to have been common to the wilderness. From Deut 8:3, Deut 8:16, it is evident that the Israelites never saw it before; and from a pot of it being preserved, it is certain that nothing of the kind ever appeared again.

The manna of commerce comes from Calabria and Sicily, where it oozes out of a kind of ash tree, from the end of June to the end of July, and is a thick, clammy, sweet juice, partly drawn from the tree by the rays of the sun, partly by the puncture of insects, and partly by artificial means. The European manna is not so good as the Oriental, which is gathered in Syria, Arabia, and Persia, from the Oriental oak, and from a shrub which is called in Persia teranjabin. and it was Num 11:6-7; Song 2:3 Ps 103:1-2, Ps 105:5, Ps 111:4-5; Luke 22:19; Heb 2:1 Heb 9:4 Exod 25:16, Exod 25:21, Exod 27:21, Exod 30:6, Exod 30:36, Exod 31:18, Exod 38:21, Exod 40:20; Num 1:50, Num 1:53, Num 17:10; Deut 10:5; 1Kgs 8:9 forty years Num 33:38; Deut 8:2-3; Neh 9:15, Neh 9:20-21; Ps 78:24-25; John 6:30-58 until they came to Josh 5:12 the borders Num 33:48-50; Deut 1:8, Deut 34:1-4
